商品簡介
Noting that nearly 400 thriller novels have been produced over the past 35 years in response to the current phase of political upheaval in Northern Ireland, Kelly (modern and contemporary literature in English, U. of Edinburgh) investigates the complicity of the enduring confrontations, conspiracies, and mysteries of the thriller form with the hegemonic view of Northern Irish society as itself suspended in a recurrent and befuddling stasis. Among his perspectives are the political unconsciousness of the British Troubles thriller, representations of Belfast and urban space, and constructions of gender.
